Musings from Big Pink: Spring Angles
http://musingsfrombigpink.blogspot.com/2015/03/spring-angles.html
Musings from Big Pink. Saturday, March 21, 2015. I am in the process of designing a plane body for a custom profile, dedicated plane that I will make this week. I was sent the following image from the customer and we're trying to come up with a plane design that will create the profile. Take note of the bead above: it's a full 180 degrees. If he decides to have this full bead in the final profile then the plane must not be sprung. A few frequently asked questions:. Q How do you make dedicated planes?

Musings from Big Pink: June 2013
http://musingsfrombigpink.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Musings from Big Pink. Monday, June 10, 2013. The most intimidating part of making my first planes was the heat treating. When I started this hobby I never anticipated being bent over a pile of fire bricks in my driveway at dusk with a blowtorch in my hand and a pot of peanut oil at my side. That wasn't my intention, but it's where the hobby lead. (Check out Larry Williams' Dvd. And, though the step may be intimidating, it's simple with the process he describes. But, I digress.). Let this video be a demo...

Musings from Big Pink. Tuesday, June 9, 2015. Preparing for Upcoming Classes. My normal work flow has been interrupted as I make preparations for upcoming classes. This weekend, after a significant amount of re-sawing, I will be guiding a group through the process of making a rabbet plane at Lie-Nielsen Toolworks in Warren, ME. In early August I will be in Port Townsend, WA at the Port Townsend School of Woodworking. I will also be teaching a second class at PTSW: " Mouldings in Practice.

Musings from Big Pink: A Fun Story
http://musingsfrombigpink.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-fun-story.html
Musings from Big Pink. Wednesday, March 18, 2015. I was reminded of a fun story while making the two plaques in my previous post. The last time I made a sign like that was 5 years ago. I had recently moved to CT after leaving my previous job and was trying to figure out what I wanted to do next. This month marks my fifth year in business pursuing customers. I’ll be at Handworks. In May with just about every high-end hand tool manufacturer. Just send my work back. Posted by Matt Bickford.

Back in the summer of 1982 I took a guitar lesson with a fingerstylist whose albums I owned and admired. The lesson consisted in large part of his talking about how he had come in from the road several hundred dollars in the red, and had finally resolved to get out and get a day job. My response? I had a sneaking suspicion that there was adventure lurking in this opportunity, and felt compelled to follow it wherever it might lead. I have not been disappointed. We're looking forward so much to seeing you ...

Musings from Big Pink: Dedicated Moulding Plane(s)
http://musingsfrombigpink.blogspot.com/2015/03/dedicated-moulding-planes.html
Musings from Big Pink. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. Once I set up a tool and get it perfect it goes in a box and out the door. There are times when the last part of this process is harder than others. Sometimes I really have a hard time putting the plane in the box. I posted a few commentaries regarding spring angles for dedicated planes last week. The first is here. And addendum is here. We settled on the final plane and I completed sharpening it today. It will ship tomorrow. Come check it out at Handworks.
